# You Can't Get It: Artists Prove Practice Is More Important Than Talent
Motivation Inspiration / / January 05, 2021
A new and important hashtag is gaining popularity on Twitter, # You Can't Fight. It was launched by a girl under the nickname bLuE Chu, who decided explainwhy you can't give up, even if at first it doesn't add up to a hobby. Under this tag, she asked experienced artists to share their story - and to show that they all started somewhere.
So, my thread, written on emotions, scattered quite a lot, and those who were not indifferent said many pleasant words to the girl, but the struggle does not end there. i run the tag #Don't know how, where I ask experienced and those who are still looking for themselves as artists to show their hard way.

Under this tag are mainly Russian-speaking artists and artists who show their first drawings and compare them with what they are doing now.

I was lucky because my friends supported my work, but I still hated my work.
And then somehow I started to draw for my own pleasure, without thinking how to get better and away we go pic.twitter.com/aMZ9LghBrG- sher srek @ melon (@zitrusmoss) March 5, 2020

This tweet is unlikely to get much attention. Nevertheless, the artist thought that I was a loshara and did not pay attention, because there was no point in me anyway. Then for 7 years I did not take a brush in my hands at all. And then I gave up on everyone and began to draw the way I liked. pic.twitter.com/2eEEtfNE6N- not o-fucking-Iero ππΊπΊπ¦ (@ambulance_call) March 5, 2020

The important thing that I have learned over the years of my drawing is that you should try to do the maximum with your minimum ability. You will be surprised how much you really can! pic.twitter.com/idRD8NVyw3- o-tulp π rebranding (@o_tulp) March 6, 2020

I started to seriously engage in DJing somewhere in 2015, the first art is progress after half a year or a year of more meaningful picking of fsh. The second art was drawn in winter 2019.They are united only by cool light and color, the rest I had to learn and pump over for several years pic.twitter.com/ty582SXByo

Although the hashtag was originally launched specifically for artists, those who are engaged in other creativity began to tell their stories under it, from photography and knitting toys to cosplay and temari embroidery.

when I just started doing portrait photography, I began to face a lot of negativity, but my friends who supported me and agreed to be my models led me to photographs on Vogue and in other magazines pic.twitter.com/ydN4bNBz9e

If you really burn with your work, then the main thing is constant practice, and the rest will follow

Probably, I have nothing to do under the tag for people of art, I just suddenly remembered that 6 years ago my first attempts to edit were very slow and acidic, and now photography for me is one of the main and most soothing hobby

Using the example of the same suit.
I always liked to sew, but I did not have any knowledge in construction and I cut everything in the studio. As a result, it pushed me to get a professional education. Perhaps someone will not see the difference, but it is also big pic.twitter.com/Ti9mlPFMFs- Daria Roozπ (@dariarooz) March 5, 2020
I was 16 when someone from my family said, "How are you going to play in a band if you can't play anything?" at 18 I bought a synthesizer. taught her favorite songs, little by little understood the theory. now I'm 21, and I pick up parts by ear, and play in a group (!)#in't goodhttps://t.co/vx7NL9FD3y

In 2017, I really wanted to learn how to knit toys. It took me three days to just knit the first stitches. Then I could not even think that I would be able to invent something myself. And yes, I was very proud of my first job (1st photo).

I'm not an arther, but
In any art, the path of a thousand from begins with one step. I walk slowly (when 5-6, when 1-2 for the year, 2018 was empty), I still have a lot to master, I still sometimes get crooked balls, but I go.

Learning foreign languages few consider it to be creativity - but it is no less long and laborious process, which also requires a lot of patience and dedication. Do not give up, even if the teacher at school said that you have no talent for languages.
#Don't know how
the art of knowing a foreign language is still an art, so... here is the English talk I wrote in 2015, March 11th. I donβt remember, but most likely I got a deuce. pic.twitter.com/XrWVMXGFt9
